Diacylglycerol (DAG) acts as an allosteric activator of protein kinase C (PKC), and is converted to phosphatidic acid by DAG kinase (DGK). DGK, therefore, is thought to be a negative regulator of PKC activation. Here, we show molecular mechanisms of functional coupling of the two kinases.

Phosphorylation and upregulation of diacylglycerol kinase
via its interaction with protein kinase C
PKC directly associated with DGK
through its accessory domain (AD), depending on Ca2+ as well as phosphatidylserine/ diolein in vitro. Mass spectrometric analysis and mutation studies revealed that
PKC phosphorylated Ser776 and Ser779 in the AD of DGK
. The phosphorylation by
PKC resulted in activation of DGK
because a DGK
mutant in which Ser776 and Ser779 were substituted with glutamic acid to mimic phosphorylation exhibited significantly higher activity compared to wild type DGK
and an unphosphorylatable DGK
mutant. Importantly, the interaction of the two kinases and the phosphorylation of DGK
by
PKC could be confirmed in vivo, and over-expression of the AD of DGK
inhibited re-translocation of
PKC. These results demonstrate that localization and activation of the functionally-correlated kinases,
PKC and DGK
are spatio-temporally orchestrated by their direct association and phosphorylation, contributing to subtype-specific regulation of DGK
and DAG signaling.
